THE CENTENNIAL.
A Message From the President on tho
subject.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. President
Cleveland yesterday sent the following
message to Congress:
To THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRE-.
sENTATIvEs: 'As a matter of national
interest and one solely within the discre-
ton and control of Congress, | transmit
the accompanying memorial of the execu-
tive committee of the sub-constitutonal
centennial commission proposing to cele-
brate on the nth of September, 1892, in
the city of Philadelphia, as the day upon
which, and the place where the conven-
ton that framed the federation constitu-
ton concluded their labors and submitted
the result for the federation to the 10
States then composing the United States.
The epoch was one of the deepest interest
and the events well worthy of the com
memoration. | am aware that each State
acted independently in giving its adhesion
to the new constitution; the dates and an
niversaries of their several notifications
are not coincident. Some action looking
to a national expression in relation to the
celebration of the close of the first cen
fury of popular government under a
written constitution has already been
suggested. and whilst stating the great in
terest share in the renewed examination
by the American people of the historical
foundation of their government, | do not
feel warranted in discriminating in favor
of or against the proposal to select one
day or place in preference to all others.
and therefore content myself with con-
veying to Congress these expressions of
popular feeling and interest upon the sub
ject, hoping that in spirit of patriotic
cooperation, fitting measures may be
enacted by Congress which will give the
amplest opportunity all over the United
States for the manifestation of the affec-
ton and confidence of free and mighty
nation in the institutions of government
of which they are the fortunate inherit
ors and under which unexampled pros
perity has been enjoyed by all classes and
conditions in our social system.

that Miss Van Zandt was. in his opinion,
the victim of the ready wit of Spies and

love Spies, nor Spies her, but that the
real affinity is between Miss Van Zandt

Since the 9th of November he has

This concoction, which is prepared
according to the method of the Italian
Succi, is composed of milk, sherry, and
such other ingredients as will enable
the system of the patient to sustain it

treatment Gen. Colston has lost
twenty-five pounds of flesh, and states
that it is entirely satisfactory, mas

for solid food, save when an unusually
savory odor greets him in passing some
